As I stepped off the plane and onto the sun-kissed soil of Curacao, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. This tiny island in the southern Caribbean has a rich history that is waiting to be uncovered, from its colonial past to its modern-day cultural renaissance.
But it's not just the history that draws me to Curacao - it's the vibrant culture that pulses through every corner of this island. From the colorful markets and street art to the infectious rhythms of Afro-Caribbean music, there is no shortage of experiences waiting to be had.
And then there is the natural beauty of Curacao - a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. From the stunning beaches to the rugged landscapes, this island has a way of making you feel small yet connected to something much larger than yourself.
